21:15:26 <brg2[m]> Hi all. I'm looking to test an idea on the gui code but didn't see a starting point or project file to open/develop the project. What is the best practice to start making changes to the code? Does everyone do straight code/compile or is QT Creator better? If so, what is the best starting point to get that going? I'm not familiar with QT Creator but want to help the monero community and this project. Thank you! (best comment about this was
21:15:26 <brg2[m]> here: https://matrix.to/#/!oyXaDZnhLzQECPWmIt:monero.social/$a8O-mdSfF8lECbpBVIrNcJwIE59NSUVUWqNbxSZ8_Ss?via=libera.chat&via=matrix.org&via=monero.social but that didn't lead to any further instruction)
21:17:25 <moneromooo> Did you check for a README* file ? Or HACKING*, or similar.
21:17:34 <moneromooo> That should have build instructions to get you started.
21:18:38 <brg2[m]> I see the build instructions but just wondering about what everyone does to actually work/debug the code?
21:18:58 <brg2[m]> is qt creator in linux the way to go?
21:19:24 <moneromooo> Well, I can only speak for myself, but when I was hacking on it, I'd add logs to what I was debugging._
21:20:13 <brg2[m]> so you didn't use any visual editor, just console outputs and build?
21:21:10 <moneromooo> Yes. I don't know whether a visual editor is possible.
21:33:21 <selsta> brg2[m]: Qt Creator works but I personally don't use it
21:34:34 <selsta> if you prefer an IDE I would try to set it up
21:34:43 <selsta> we don't have any instructions for it but it's possible
21:35:04 <geonic> selsta: which QT version is the GUI using? I can run some other apps using the same QT ver to see if it's a bug in QT or something else
21:37:11 <geonic> Qt 5.9.7 ?

22:51:07 <reeemuru[m]> <brg2[m]> "I see the build instructions but..." <- one day I just started changing stuff and then run the docker instructions to see what broke
22:51:07 <reeemuru[m]> pretty much it
